LIVERPOOL, Arsenal and Manchester United are free to battle it out for Marco Reus after Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola officially ended his interest in the Borussia Dortmund star.

The Germany international's future has been the subject of much speculation this summer, with various reports linking him with a move to the Premier League.

Reus has put contract talks on hold as he ponders his future under Jurgen Klopp, and despite being named vice-captain of the Bundesliga giants, the 25-year-old could still leave before the end of the transfer window.

Brendan Rodgers, Arsene Wenger and Louis Van Gaal are all big fans of the versatile attacker, but reports in Germany had claimed that Bayern Munich were leading the race for his signature.

We already have eight midfielders in the squad. Eight! That's enough

Dortmund's fierce rivals have already managed to lure Mario Goetze and Robert Lewandowski to the Allianz Arena, and club president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had talked up a move after discussing the intimate details of Reus' buyout contract, which is set to drop from £28million to just £20million at the end of next season.

However, former Barcelona chief Pep Guardiola has ruled out a move for Reus this summer, opening the door for Liverpool, Arsenal and United to launch a bid before the end of the month.

He said: "[Bayern] don't need any new players.

"I haven't spoken to Marco Reus, and nor has Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. We already have eight midfielders in the squad. Eight! That's enough."
